Denon PMA-A110 Phono Upgrade!

I always recommend return option when searching for a Phono Stage.

I just checked, your Denon gets great reviews, it's Phono is like my Luxman and many others, the optional MC input impedance is fixed at 100 ohms, it is best for an MC cartridge with a coil impedance between 8-12 ohms.

For other MC cartridges, you could use a Step-Up Transformer (SUT) and the Denon's MM Phono Input.

My experience: the 3 mid priced SS Phono Stages I found: great reviews, tried, and returned, were Schitt; iFi; Cambridge. 

I have found two very inexpensive SS Phono that were surprisingly preferable to those (and also preferred to my McIntosh C28 SS MM Phono): dinky built-in phono eq card in AT120 TT, and a $14. Pyle I bought just to get listening while trying the 3 abovein my revamped office system.

Main System: The Phono I found and prefer is MM Tubes in my McIntosh mx110z tube tuner/preamp, and I use a separate passive SUT with 4 impedance options for MC. 

Office System: The Phono I found and prefer is MM Tubes in my Luxman SQ-N150.

Are you using your MC At33xMLB on the lighter headshell? Or the MM VM95 that came mounted in it?

Your Low Output Moving Coil (LOMC) AT33xMLB cartridge has low .42mV output, a 12 ohm coil.

I have the prior version LOMC AT33PTG/II, 0.30 mV, 10 ohm coil, also Microline on Tapered Boron Rod. Everybody enjoys it's sound when I use it here.

I chose this Step Up Transformer so I can continue to use my McIntosh mx110z’s MM Phono EQ. You could use it with your Denon Integrated Amp’s MM Phono Input, or any MM Phono stage like that Tube unit from Canada I linked above.

It has PASS for MM or HOMC (high output moving coil), and 4 optional gain/impedance choices.

It has 3 inputs, you never know when you will benefit from a feature you think you will never need.

@elliottbnewcombjr I am using the A33XMLB from Audio Technica. I find thatvI need to crank the volume almost all the way up to get a good 90DB Volume out of it. I am liking the Step Up Transformer you recommended. ? Or do I need a better Phono Preamp?
